Didn't get anything done tonight. I got the engine leveled,aligned to the rear pinion, with what I think is the correct offset for efficient driveshaft angles. I set the engine to 0*, but I think(depending on Trans choice) I may have to rework the Trans tunnel, not worried about that thought, Ill worry about that later. The car is sitting pretty low, hoping for decent aero. Then went to help a buddy with his Supra.

Next, I am going to plate the Subframe ends, tie them into my cage, and then run the front tubes.

Then, Motor/mid plates.

Thanks guys,

Yea. Its a great welder, I've ran the foot welder since I got it and taught myself to weld last year. Yesterday when I was doing some welding it was a bit tight on space, and I tried to use the thumb control, welds actually improved, I got some really consistent dimes, but it is very hard to use, I much prefer the foot control when it allows.
